Cbs Sportsline Power Rankings
Prisco actually gives us a good spot

Power Rankings Current Team Previous 1 Giants · Trends 2 They've taken their rightful spot at the top. Can anybody beat them? They do everything well. 2 Jets · Trends 5 Are they now the team to beat in the AFC? That's a stretch, but they're close. The schedule isn't exactly daunting the rest of the way either. 3 Titans · Trends 1 They played a lot of big games the past month and it might have caught up with them against the Jets. They still have a great shot to get the AFC's No. 1 seed. 4 Buccaneers · Trends 4 Don't look now, but they're the second-best team in the NFC. It isn't always pretty, but they find a way. 5 Cowboys · Trends 7 They get Seattle at home for a turkey day feast before a tough two-game stretch at Pittsburgh and at home against the Giants. The return of Tony Romo makes them a different team. 6 Steelers · Trends 9 That defense is getting better by the week. Now they get a chance to slow down the hot Matt Cassel. 7 Panthers · Trends 3 Despite their loss to the Falcons, they still control their destiny when it comes to winning the division. They do need to get that passing game going better. 8 Patriots · Trends 10 Matt Cassel is on fire, throwing for 815 yards the past two games. It helps that Randy Moss and Wes Welker catch the passes. 9 Colts · Trends 8 At 7-4, they have an easy schedule the rest of the way, starting with Cleveland this week. They will make the playoffs. 10 Falcons · Trends 13 Can you believe we're heading to the last week of November and they're a division contender? Mike Smith, coach of the year? 11 Redskins · Trends 14 The way Clinton Portis is running he just might carry them to the playoffs. They still need to get Jason Campbell going better. 12 Cardinals · Trends 6 The Giants showed them that they have work to do before the playoffs come around. They have to improve that running game. 13 Ravens · Trends 16 After losing to the Giants, they regrouped in a big way against the Eagles. It's all about the defense. If they play well, they win. If not, they don't. 14 Saints · Trends 19 With that offense, they can play with anybody. If they're to have any chance of winning the division they have to go to Tampa and win this week. 15 Dolphins · Trends 11 Chad Pennington can throw the football. So can we please limit the Wildcat? Please. 16 Bears · Trends 18 They have a first-place showdown with the Vikings this week. The good news from the Rams game is the defense played better, but it was the Rams. 17 Vikings · Trends 20 If they're to win the division, Gus Frerotte has to be better. If not, it won't matter how good they run it or play defense. 18 Bills · Trends 22 They seemed to have righted their ways against the Chiefs. Trent Edwards came out of his slump in a big way, which they will need down the stretch. 19 Packers · Trends 15 They should be thankful that they play in the so-so NFC North. What happened to that pass defense Monday night? 20 Broncos · Trends 12 Something has seemed off with this team all season. We know the defense has struggled, but the offense didn't score against the Raiders either. 20 Chargers · Trends 23 Even at 4-7, they still have a chance to win the division. Oh, how every team wishes it was in the AFC West. 22 Eagles · Trends 17 Donovan McNabb stays in at quarterback, which is the right thing to do. But if it goes bad Thursday night, it could get ugly at home. 23 Texans · Trends 25 They have the first home Monday night game in team history coming up against the Jaguars. Outside of Houston, will anybody care? 24 Browns · Trends 21 So maybe Brady Quinn isn't ready yet. I did say it would be 2009 before the Browns with Quinn became a real playoff threat. 25 Jaguars · Trends 24 Their season is officially over. Now comes a tough question: Will they win again and if not, what changes are coming? 26 49ers · Trends 26 Have they done enough for Mike Singletary to keep the job? I doubt it. That rah-rah, in-your-face stuff doesn't compensate for Xs and Os. 27 Raiders · Trends 30 So they can score touchdowns with Tom Cable calling plays. Johnny Lee Higgins is the man as the punt returner. 28 Bengals · Trends 27 The one silver lining of this bad season is that the defense has been improved. That's a good sign for next season. 29 Rams · Trends 28 Were it not for the little boost they got when Jim Haslett took over they just might be winless. The problem is the two lines aren't good enough. 30 Seahawks · Trends 29 Mike Holmgren needs to look at the bright side: There are only five more games to go. His team is playing better lately. 31 Chiefs · Trends 31 OK, so maybe we should hold off on the Tyler Thigpen-to-become-Len Dawson talk. Matt Stafford or Sam Bradford might be the answer. 32 Lions · Trends 32 The progress they made a week ago went bye-bye quickly against the Bucs. What's the point of playing Daunte Culpepper?

We are good but we still have some questions in the passing D. while I feel we are better than the titans...i'd give the slight edge to the steelers. We have a solid team but we still have room to get better.

This is the way I see itI put the Steelers ahead of us because they still look really tough to me.Titans got whipped really bad so in my opinion they should be below us and Pittsburgh.I made no changes to 24-32
